"This young man, reliable."
When I heard words like "built for young people" before, I couldn't help but frown, in this era of high costs, either represent low-positioning products or come to collect "IQ tax". Of course, there will be exceptions, such as realme.
My liking for this brand comes from the real Q3 Pro, a thousand-dollar machine, because it was one of the few mobile phones in the same price segment at that time that could win with design. Sooner or later, young people will enter the society, realme will sooner or later impact the high-end market, so there is a real self GT2 Pro released today, officially declared that this is a high-end flagship designed for young people.
PS: The following experience and test results are based on the true self GT2 Pro Master paper color matching version, the memory specification is 12GB+256GB.
"A piece of paper for the new science and technology"
The reason why the official language is used as a subtitle is because this sentence really summarizes the design concept of this phone very well.
Although the back cover of the True Self GT2 Pro looks at the pixel skin, it is not, but it is a bio-based material, a new material extracted from pulp, grain, legumes, straw and other materials, which belongs to the second generation of biological raw materials, with a high degree of recyclability, which can reduce the pollution and damage to the environment as much as possible.
This material has been generally used in high-end consumer areas before, for example, bmw BMW i cycle concept car used bio-based materials in its interior, which is the first time it has appeared on mobile phones. Since the back cover of the True Self GT2 Pro is homologous to paper, Realme calls it "the technological rebirth of a piece of paper" and is inspired by this, which is why this unique white back cover is available.
It is worth noting that the surface of the fuselage is pressed with a small layer of special texture, and the short fine lines are interlaced interactively, coupled with the camera module and its slightly raised white space on the right side, the vision is quite layered. The blank space is printed with the realme logo and Naoto Fukasawa's signature.
There is also a detail that the transition between the bio-based back cover and the middle frame is very smooth, which will be directly fed back to the feel.
True my GT2 Pro machine feels comfortable, the touch is slightly harder than plain leather, the hand is not frozen in winter, even if there is hand sweat, there will be no greasy feeling, plus the weight of 189g (glass version 199g) and 8.18mm thickness of the thin body, easier to hold. From a practical point of view, it is scratch-resistant, anti-fingerprint, and has passed extreme environment and drop resistance tests, and the strength of the fuselage does not need to worry.
The white body is outstanding, in addition to this color, there is also a green color of the same bio-based material, as well as blue and black using AG glass.
Incidentally, not only the back cover, the box printing of the True My GT2 Pro is soybean ink, and plastic accounts for only 0.3% of the packaging. The idea of realme is to start from the source and achieve the purpose of environmental protection at the material level, rather than simply and rudely canceling the charger and letting users buy it separately, which is obviously more beneficial to consumers.
Thanks to the special back cover and frosted silver frame, the True Self GT2 Pro has a natural and simple look, a comfortable grip, and a different material and mind to interpret what a friendly design is. Of course, the friendliness is not only the back, but also the front of this 2.5D straight screen.
The screen is strong, but there is one thing to be aware of
The reason why the screen part is taken out separately is because the real GT2 Pro is equipped with a 2.5D direct screen that is not common at present, which takes into account the practicality and aesthetics.
On the one hand, the 2.5D direct screen integrates almost all the advantages of the conventional direct screen, on the other hand, the edge of the screen has done a very small and fine arc processing, which is more convenient for gestures such as sliding up and down. If you used a curved screen before, like I transitioned from the waterfall screen to the real me GT2 Pro, there will really be a sense of ease in use, plus the edge of the green edge disappears, the field of vision is naturally cleaner.
It is worth noting that since this phone uses a completely new packaging process, the screen bracket is eliminated. Yes, the layer of "plastic" between the screen and the middle frame. The new process allows the small arc of the screen edge of the mobile phone to be directly connected with the middle frame, and the exquisite feeling of the whole machine can be raised by a notch, which is more than the micro-curved surface.
In terms of screen parameters, the True Self GT2 Pro is equipped with a 6.7-inch screen on the front, the surrounding border is almost equal width, the left and right sides will be narrower, and the upper right corner is single punched. The screen of the machine is 2K resolution, supports 120Hz LTPO adaptive refresh rate, 1 billion color display, 100% P3 wide color gamut and 50000000:1 ultra-high contrast ratio, passed the DisplayMate A+ certification...
It is worth noting that the Real Me GT2 Pro uses the second generation of LTPO, and in my opinion, the biggest upgrade is that the screen response speed is greatly accelerated, and the screen refresh rate when using it basically changes with the change of finger sliding speed.
From left to right: Swipe Weibo, watch videos, browse pictures
Taking Brushing Weibo as an example, the screen refresh rate is basically around 115Hz when sliding normally, up to 120Hz, but when the sliding speed is slowed down, it will immediately decrease by about 85Hz. When watching the video, automatically switch to 60Hz, when viewing the picture or the picture is still, the lowest can be 1Hz, feedback to the control is a very smooth use experience, according to the operation and display content automatic speed adjustment, refresh rate switching is basically seamless, the response is very fast.
Most importantly, the commonly used applications are basically covered with high brushes. Since it is not 120Hz at all times, it will save more power and extend the battery life than the ordinary 120Hz screen. However, when using it, such as brushing Weibo, it is recommended to turn off the video autoplay option, otherwise there will be a slight frustration due to frame rate conversion.
In general, the screen parameters of the True Self GT2 Pro are the level of the flagship mobile phone in 2022, with a 2.5D direct screen, the sense of use will be slightly stronger than the micro-curved surface, and because the front camera is placed on the side, reducing the impact on the naked eye gaze area, the visual interference will be smaller.
It is worth noting that the True Self GT2 Pro not only supports LTPO, but also realme still retains the DC mode in the developer mode. Although the screen AOR value, that is, the "black bar" on the screen has not changed significantly, it can also play a certain role in reducing the effect of strobe. Of course, this is not a problem of realme a manufacturer, many flagship mobile phone screens this year have a similar situation, and the root cause of the problem is not the so-called "DC and LTPO are incompatible", the two can actually coexist. If you care about this problem, it is recommended to turn on the dark mode, which can greatly reduce the strobe hazard.
Overall, the real I GT2 Pro screen quality is excellent, coupled with a better 2.5D direct screen, especially if you still do such a delicate straight screen, it will be more in line with the pursuit of young people nowadays, after all, the direct screen flagship is not every year.
Gt mode on and on and on are two completely different experiences
Just like a generation of GT equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, the True Self GT2 Pro is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 mobile platform.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 uses Samsung 4nm process, CPU performance increased by 20%, GPU performance increased by 30%, standard flagship chip. But this is after all a theoretical improvement, or put into the test to practice.
The true self GT2 Pro Antu rabbit comprehensive running score reached 1001033 points, which was greatly improved compared with the performance of the previous generation GT.
In the Geekbench4, which tested CPU performance, the True Self GT2 Pro scored 985 points for single-core running and 3455 points for multi-core running, which is slightly lower and has some room for mining. But given that the phone is still in beta, the CPU performance of subsequent retail machines should be better.
In the 3D Mark OpenGL ES 3.1 running score, the software gave the rating of "reaching the limit", and in the more demanding test wild life, the score was 9861, which is already a very high level.
In the flash memory running score, the sequential reading of the True My GT2 Pro is 1737.59MB/s, the sequential write is 1193.67MB/s, the random reading is 311.6MB/s, and the random write is 277.74MB/s, which performs well and can quickly read and write relevant data.
In addition to the data test, the performance of the Real Me GT2 Pro in the game is also remarkable. However, it is recommended to open GT 3.0 (hereinafter referred to as GT mode) mode first to play games with this mobile phone, because whether it is turned on or not really directly determines the game experience of the machine.
In the test, the True Self GT2 Pro turned on 2K+120Hz, and the game screen settings were fully open.
In Honor of Kings, if GT mode is not turned on, the game frames are limited to 60 frames. However, after opening, the game frame rate will increase by about 120 frames, the average frame number is 119.3 frames, the frame rate is stable, the game runs smoothly, and there is no stuttering frame.
With the performance of the Real MY GT2 Pro and the GT mode bonus, it can play the mainstream games smoothly.
So 3 conclusions can be drawn:
1. True Self GT2 Pro performance is indeed very strong;
2. The performance of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 is very strong, but the power consumption is also high, and the summer performance is worth observing;
3.GT mode is really useful, on and on and on is not completely two experiences, after the opening of the frame rate stability significantly improved. As for why realme should set it to be opened manually instead of automatically recognizing the game APP, it may also be to give players a performance choice in different scenarios.
It is worth noting that the GT mode of the True Self GT2 Pro will be extended to video, and after opening, the linkage will open the "O1 Super Sense Quality Engine", which can be used to enhance image quality, video color enhancement, and video dynamic interpolation. But the gt mode is mainly to play games rather than watch videos, and these video enhancements also have separate switches, even if it is Dolby Atmos, the system is also turned on by default, I think this linkage to open the setting is not meaningful.
As for the battery life, the real GT2 Pro is outstanding. The phone itself has a large 5000mAh battery and supports 65W SuperDart flash charging.
The 3-hour battery life test includes 1080P video recording, 1080P video playback, Douyin, JD.com, Weibo, "Glory of the King", each project is half an hour, the mobile phone is turned on 2K+120Hz when testing, and the game is turned on GT mode.
The final remaining power of the True Self GT2 Pro is 62%, which is an ideal result, which can be stable to ensure the use of one day, and it is a 5000mAh battery tucked into the ultra-thin body of 8.18mm, which shows the degree of progress in stacking technology.
It takes a total of 32 minutes from 0% to fully charge, and 38% of the power can be charged in 10 minutes, which can meet the basic commuting needs, and 30 minutes can be charged 98%, almost full.
In some details, the True Self GT2 Pro is equipped with a large X-axis linear motor, the vibration is powerful and not loose, there are two speakers in the earpiece, support NFC and WiFi 6, but no IR remote control.
In terms of performance, the True Self GT2 Pro performs well, undoubtedly the flagship level of this year, and the existence of GT mode further enhances its gaming experience, while longer battery life, faster charging and dual speakers are obviously more able to meet the daily use and entertainment needs of young people.
The camera's lack of co-branding is equally impressive
The True Self GT2 Pro adopts the dual main camera idea, equipped with a 50MP IMX766 main camera, a 50MP 150° ultra-wide angle camera, and a microscope 2.0 lens. At this point in time, the flagship mobile phone photography will not be bad, the basic color, picture quality can be guaranteed, more than is the differentiation, whether you can shoot your own style.
Default mode + AI scene enhancement
Street Mode + Street View Filter
The machine retains the street shooting mode of the previous Master Exploration Edition, which is also my favorite mode, which is used more frequently than the default photo mode, and it is recommended to use it with the "Street Shot" filter. This filter will not affect the picture, its main role is to increase the contrast of the picture, so that the photos taken are more three-dimensional, better looking, and most importantly, there is no scene restriction.
Because the picture becomes more three-dimensional, even if the picture lacks some composition or decoration, it can actually take a good photo, even if it is a casual shot. In addition to "Street Photography", street photography mode also has a variety of style filters to choose from, corresponding to different preferences.
Followed by the ultra-wide angle, the real self GT2 Pro debut 150 ° ultra-wide angle camera, this lens in the default, street shooting, night scene and other modes and the conventional ultra-wide angle is no different, need to be manually opened in the camera - more -150 °.
In this mode, the phone is able to shoot with a great viewing angle and can take a very shocking picture.
In addition, this lens can also take a similar effect to a professional fisheye lens, highlighting the main body of the picture, suitable for shooting portraits or close-ups. So the question is, what scenario is the 150° ultra-wide angle suitable for?
One is that the photographer is too close to the shooting object or the space is too small, but it is necessary to take a full picture of the scene seen; the other is when it is necessary to take some very exaggerated photos. Therefore, this is a very imaginative shooting mode, more suitable for street shooting than ordinary ultra-wide angle, and there is every reason to integrate it into the street shooting mode, rather than putting it in "more".
Blanket surface
Finally, there is the microscope 2.0, whose focal length has been raised to 4.7mm, which means that shooting is easier without being completely attached to the surface of the object.
In addition, a lot of kaleidoscopic and magic filters have been added in this mode, but strictly speaking, the magic filter is more suitable for microscope shooting, because other kaleidoscopic filters can shoot very fancy patterns even if they are not close to the object and shoot at normal distance, but if they are from the perspective of the sample, they are really quite emotional.
The "X" keycap of the computer keyboard
However, in ultra-close shooting, the surface of the subject will sometimes block the flash, resulting in the microscope lens can not be imaged normally, and it is more reasonable to make a circle of ring strips around the lens. In addition, in use, there is also a problem that the phone cannot hold the highlight, and it is hoped that it can be improved in subsequent versions.
In addition, the True Self GT2 Pro supports up to 20 times digital zoom, all rely on the main camera crop, and the picture quality is more general.
Overall, the True Self GT2 Pro has its own characteristics, whether it is function or hardware, even if there is no camera co-brand, it can also be impressive.
Write at the end:
According to the official statement, the True Self GT2 Pro is a flagship built for young people. Indeed, the maverick appearance, the light and comfortable feel, the flagship performance, the high playability of the image function, each point is in line with the actual needs of young people, is a very comfortable mobile phone, but also a product worth buying.
If you look at it purely by the standards of flagship mobile phones, the real GT2 Pro still has room to grow. Just as today's young people have greater potential than their predecessors, it is also a reason for realme to go to the high-end flagship market.
However, as a realme to the high-end flagship market of an attempt, the true self GT2 Pro has done enough, so it will not affect my judgment of it, the real me GT2 Pro is still a flagship mobile phone suitable for young people. Most importantly, this is a true flagship.
